Can I edit the time a vessel was launched using HyperEdit? If not, any suggestions?

I placed a RTG wrong on a relay, want to make another craft with it right, put it in the same place, and adjust the time and delete the old one.

Thanks!

Build the ship as it should be, then edit your save to replace the wrong ship with the right one? I'm pretty sure Hyperedit just works on the ship as it is, rather than on any of the data about where it's been and when.

I think that will work, but if one is not up to editing a save file directly - which can be tricky - here's what I recommend. However, I don't quite understand what your goal is regarding the time.

Build the ship as it should be, then HyperEdit the corrected ship into the position you want.

I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes!

Thanks! I'll switch the ships and try to adjust the time in the savegame file.

I want to match the time to remove any evidence of what I did, and to order the vessels correctly in the Tracking Station. It won't affect anything directly, but if the time isn't right it will be a constantly reminder of what I did and that isn't the correct vessel. I play with only one savegame, Strategia and Final Frontier, the order the vessels were launched and new bodies reached are relevant for role-play. Maybe you'll understand, maybe not

I messed a little with the epoch time, but it seems to edit the time since I started the game.

I like how specifically strict you are being with yourself and your universe. It adds a level of importance that I thoroughly enjoy.

I tried editing the "lct" field, and it worked for the time, not for the position on the Tracking Station. I solved the problem changing the rotation of a part, but I'm still curious how to change the order the vessels are displayed in the Tracking Station. May need in the future

I suspect there may be some arbitrary serialization of the items showing in the Tracking Station. Could it be the vessel's "pid" or "persistentId"?

Is there a user manual that explains all the "ins & outs" for HyperEdit. I had a future contract that was utilizing a MK1 plane that was vortexed into my current contract (save) while I was about 300 km. I had to reload a previous save. On previous games, HE would stick me on the sun's surface with no way out and subsequently caused that particular save to crash the game all together. Nevertheless, I am trying to reposition a communication satellite (current contract) with an AP of 317.666 meters and PE at 299.494 meters, with a 0 degree inclination. Some might know what I am referring to when I also mention that the communication core has to be module 3 and frequency set to 21.5.... I can disregard HE all together and see if I can align everything manually, but hey ... just thought I would try HE despite the unusual bugs... Then again, maybe someone out there might have a better way...

No, I'm sorry. There is no comprehensive manual for HyperEdit, but much of it is common sense - except the complex orbit settings that I suspect you need. There is a help view and many things have pop-up info to help you.

I don't know what you mean by "vortexed" as vortex is not a verb as far as I know. Also, HyperEdit will never stick you on the sun's surface unless you tell it specifically to do just that. However, if you have other mods installed, then all manner of crazy can manifest.

As for repositioning a satellite in orbit, I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it with HyperEdit's Complex Orbit Editor, but I honestly don't know how to go about it. I'm sure that someone here knows, and hopefully will jump in here to help you.

Okay, you got me on 'vortexed'. What I mean is that the MK1 airplane suddenly appeared right next to my spacecraft that was trying to establish said AP & PE mentioned previously. Moreover, any maneuvers as such would also include said airplane. Reloading a previous save fixed it for the time being. Now, in terms of the sun's surface, you are also correct; however, it did move near the the sun to such a degree that it was impossible to view anything else. It would do this when i also had Physics Range Extended loaded. In either situation. I appreciate your reply. I did find a diagram that defines the necessary parameters accordingly.

Hello!
Thank you, THANK YOU! for keeping this mod up!
First time I´m going to try it but, for what I´ve seen around, it will completely help me to perform something like I would with Extraplanetary LAunchpads, without the entire "stuff", of course.
I mean, one could built at Kerbin and then Hyper-it to another ground base they have on another planet.
Great!

You are most welcome! It is appreciation like yours that motivates me, and I assume others that help me, to do so - that, and the fact that I use it quite a bit myself. I am constantly reminded of how great this community is.

As always, @Cataclism, please feel free to contact us with any issues you may have. I'm happy to hear from you.

Hello, Ezriilc !
I´ve created a small video to show to some friend how to use Hyperedit to resupply some oversea base., just a small use, between so many options this mod allows!
If you think it can be useful, the link and explanation I wrote are hidden bellow.
If don´t, please feel free to discard and remove this post.
:::::::::::

Spoiler

I have been playing a LOT with the planet mod "TWB: The World Beyond". In my role-play, the kerbals have definetely founded a new society in the "Traverse System", at least 150 years away (if you try to burn a stock vessel towards there).
But this specific mod does NOT replace the Kerbal solar system, nor perform any kind of changes on it - which I think is VERY good.
The small disavantage, per se, is that you will never be able to actually lift off/land on your new creations in your role-played new KSC. Except if you have any other mods which allow you to do so.
So, I´ve chose a couple of moons which are very Kerbin-alike in their performances, and decided those would be, from now on, the new places for our several new "overseas" KSCs.
Every time I desire to lauch a vessel to any of their orbits, I just launch it in Kerbin, then cheat-orbit it to any of those places. For landing, is the same thing.
In this particulary case, I´ve lost many of the materials during a stupid error while diving into the Jeanne´s atmosphere. So, as that moon is one of our new KSCs, I just built the package with the necessary materials, set it to launch while in Kerbin, and then cheat/hyper it to Jeanne.
::::::::::::::::::

-I´ve renamed the fake-probe, just so I wouldn´t end up using the wrong resupply crate;
-As said in Hyperedit, it´s no recommended to "Land" in a different body. In many attempts the vessel ended up blowing to pieces before it could even appear on the screen;
-So, first hit Alt+F12 (if in Windows, which activates the 'Debug Console'), search for the "cheats" tab and chose which celestial body or vessel you´d like you package to be set close to;
-As I have a space station around the same moon with the ground base that is in need of resupplies, I´ve chosen to cheat-rendezvous the package to the sation, so I´d not need to search for the moon in a long list;
-Once the package is in orbit around the desired body, hit the Hyperedit button and, for this case, click the option to 'Ship Lander';
-As I´d already set a flag on the spot where the supplies are required, it´s showing on the list, but as in the tracking station, Hyperedit recognizes your kerbals or active vessels as well - I´d ratter set a flag or EVA a kerbal if possible, so to avoit the package to land over any other vessels in situ;
-I disabled "force rotation", so the package may remain in the same position as I launch it;
-Chose a altitude to start the descent from and click 'Land';
-Enjoy the ride!
.....
-You may click on "Deploy" if you wish to test some parachutes, landing gear or the package´s structure itself - it will start a regular descending and increases its speed;
-Be carefull to not switch to other vessel/kerbal/flag while the descending in in progress, or you propably will cancel the Hyperedit assistance, and your package will smash itself into the ground (in this video, I´changed JUST the camera, NOT the active object).

That's a fun video, and I quite like your base setup. I can see how HyperEdit is useful in that situation. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if you knew that HyperEdit also has the "Orbit Editor" function to put your vessel into orbit around any body in the game. And that is the recommended method of landing on a body other than the one you're on. First you put the vessel in orbit with "Orbit Editor", then use the "Ship Lander" to put down on the surface. When you do it that way, you won't see the warning about landing on another body. The "Orbit Editor" even has a "Rendezvous" option to put you near any other vessel already in orbit.

I'm glad to see you having fun with KSP and HyperEdit. Your enthusiasm keeps the community alive! Rock on!

I am on KSP 1.4.5 (holding out for certain mods to update before I update). Hyperedit was working fine but suddenly the "Ship Lander" option stopped working. I can click on the button and nothing. All of the other functions seem perfectly fine. I have even loaded older saved games where the "Ship Lander" function was fine but it does not change anything.

Am I missing a toggle or something that prevents the pop-up from loading or something?

I am willing to give logs, although someone who have to help me with what they need and how to get it (if it is not found on Google or Youtube.).

@Syrius: No, I don't recall anyone reporting that particular problem. I can only suggest that it could be a result of some other mods you're using. Beyond that, I recommend that you try a fresh install with only HyperEdit installed to see if it's something else. Sorry I'm not of much help.

The odd thing is I have not added any new mods to my game in months. And until a couple of weeks ago everything was fine.

I uninstalled all mods except HyperEdit and Squad and the "Ship Lander" function is still not popping up. Is there a key that toggles the function?

There is no toggle for that. You just press the "Ship Lander" button, and that dialog should appear.

Here's a weird thing: Do you have more than one monitor? It may be popping up off-screen. To reset window placement, shutdown KSP, find the file at: "./GameData/Kerbaltek/HyperEdit/windowpos.cfg", delete it, then restart KSP.

i made another test on Duna... i cant add ocean by clicking the "ocean" button... and another strange thing adding oxygen in atmosphere i cant remove the helmet because the atmosphere have the air too rarefied....

this tool can really add breatheable atmosphere and oceans on every planet? i missing something? or it not work properly?

i know with Kopernicus i can make all i want, but is too colplicated.... hyperedit looks simple... but how i can make this things with it?
